Green Day + Angry Birds

Rovio launched Angry Bird Friends earlier this year on Facebook. It allows Facebook users to play challenges against friends each week, tracking scores and standings. Partnerships have previously been struck with groups like 20th Century Fox, NASA and the Philadelphia Eagles. Now Rovio is turing to the music world.

For all you rockin’ gadget fans, launched this week is a new version to check out. Veteran punk band Green Day came to Angry Birds Friends. Green Day releases a trilogy of albums in the next four months – first coming September 24 – Rovio created 10 playable levels that include a rock and festival flavor. Featured within the game are “Oh Love” and “Troublemaker,” two tracks from the first album. Plus, as you can see from the picture – a new look for the birds.

This leads us to ask, what band would you like to see featured on Angry Bird Friends?
